Coalbed methane (CBM) resources in China are abundant, but the geological and engineering conditions are complex. The applicability of natural gas well drainage technology in coalbed methane wells is limited, especially for deep coalbed methane (coalbed methane resources buried deeper than 1000 m). Its drainage characteristics There are significant differences from shallow coalbed methane. Through theoretical analysis and on-site summary, this article systematically analyzes the characteristics of deep coalbed methane reservoirs, drainage stages and main control factors, and the development direction of drainage technology. The results show: ① Characteristics of deep coalbed methane: It generally has reservoir characteristics such as high reservoir pressure and temperature, sufficient formation energy, thick coal seams, high gas content, and abundant free gas. It also has characteristics such as low matrix permeability, poor pore connectivity, high effective stress, and low fracturing fluid return rate. ② Main control factors of drainage and production: In the early stage of drainage and pressure reduction, the influence of pulverized coal Drainage effect; in the stage from gas breakthrough to stable production, stress sensitivity is significant, and the number of shut-ins should be reduced to avoid formation pollution caused by discontinuous drainage; ③In terms of production stage division and drainage and production system: It is recommended that deep coalbed methane wells adopt a refined and quantitative five-stage or six-stage stage division, which is conducive to controlling the steady decline of bottom hole pressure. The purpose of the drainage and production system is to extend the stable production period. The duration of the stable production stage determines the final production capacity; ④ Development direction of drainage and production technology: integrated drainage and extraction throughout the life cycle of the gas well , geological engineering integrated drainage and mining machine learning and smart drainage and other technology applications. This research can provide certain guidance for the optimization of related process technologies for deep coalbed methane well drainage.

In order to fundamentally solve the interference problem between the traditional goaf supporting construction process and the mining operation, and to improve the coal recovery rate in the mine area of Wulan Setai coal mine, the paper proposes the use of the coal-cutting and goaf-filling technology with no coal pillar inside the road. On the basis of analyzing the principle of the coal-cutting and goaf-filling technology with no coal pillar inside the road, a mechanical model of the goaf-filling mining road is established. It is calculated that the support resistance required to cut the upper part of the goaf-filling wall is 19.2 MPa, and the reasonable width range of the goaf-filling wall is 0.14 m ~ 2.58 m. Numerical simulation results indicate that during the process of increasing the wall width from 1.0m to 3.0m, the supporting stiffness of the wall gradually increases along with the width, resulting in a "consolidation hardening effect" that enhances the load-bearing capacity of the wall. Both the deviation of the wall towards the roadway and the overall deformation of the surrounding rock of the reserved tunnel show improvements, albeit with a diminished effect as the width increases.After comprehensive consideration of the wall support safety factor and the practical requirements of the section, the width of the pre-filled wall has been determined to be 2.0 meters, with a choice of C25 grade concrete for the backfilling material. Field practice has confirmed the rationality of the selected parameters.This study serves as a valuable reference for the widespread application of pre-filled, coal pillar-less mining techniques in mines facing similar conditions.

Aiming at the problem of frequent roof water gushing during the mining face of Xuyong No. 1 coal seam with soft bedrock in Guxu Mining area, this paper adopts the methods of field measurement, similar material simulation and numerical simulation to probe the damage range of the overlying rock of 1599 working face, and probes into the failure characteristics of the overlying rock of 1599 working face and the evolution law of the "vertical three zones" of the working face. On this basis, the development characteristics of overlying rock water gushing channel and roof water gushing mechanism of thin coal seam with soft bedrock are revealed. The research results show that the strike distribution of the C19 coal seam is uneven, and when the 1599 working face is drawn to the 80m low-lying section, under the influence of mining, two key layers in the overlying rock are broken, and longitudinal cracks develop upward to form water gushing channels to lead to the Changxing aquifer, and a large amount of water gushing to the working face causes frequent water gushing. For this reason, the joint control of deep and shallow hole grouting and advance drainage measures is put forward for the roof strata in the low-lying section of 1599 working face.

In order to create favorable conditions for the safety production of the working face, this study adopted theoretical analysis, on-site measurement, data analysis and other methods to study the weakening and disaster reduction mechanism of directional hydraulic fracturing in deep thick and hard rock layers. The research results indicate that: ① Based on theoretical analysis, it has been found that different fracture forms of thick and hard rock formations in fractured layers can reduce the fracture step distance of thick and hard rock formations, effectively destroying the conditions for the occurrence of high-energy events. ② Through on-site drilling and observation, it was observed that the target rock layer developed various types of fractures after hydraulic fracturing, and the integrity and continuity of the target rock layer were damaged. ③ Comparing and analyzing the frequency and energy distribution of microseismic events in the unfractured and fractured areas, it was found that the number of high-energy microseismic events (>10000J) in the fractured area was 1, which was a 97.7% decrease compared to the number of high-energy microseismic events (44) in the unfractured area. The peak energy in the fracturing zone decreased by two orders of magnitude compared to before fracturing. The research results fully demonstrate that directional hydraulic fracturing plays an extremely significant role in the weakening and disaster reduction of thick and hard rock layers.

Significant volumes of mine water are generated throughout the coal extraction process. If not managed properly, this can lead to the wastage of valuable water resources and environment contamination. Conventional treatment and reuse methods are often simplistic and fail to address the complex water requirements of mining areas. This study focuses on the mine water from a specific mine within in Handan-Xingtai coalfield of the Jizhong Energy Group. We employ a "high-density clarification-ultrafiltration" treatment process to purify the mine water, tailoring its reuse for groundwater replenishment, domestic supply and agricultural irrigation water based on the quality of the treated effluent. Our findings indicate that Polyaluminum Chloride (PAC) is the most effective coagulant, with an optimal dosage is 80 mg/L. For flocculation, anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) is identified as the best choice, with an ideal dosage of 2mg/L. The ultrafiltration stage further ensures the removal of any residual suspended solids from the water. In terms of mine water reuse strategies, during the agricultural irrigation season, the entire influx of mine water is directed towards agricultural irrigation, with groundwater and domestic water sources supplemented by municipal water supplies. The overall cost of water is 2.59 yuan/ton; In non-agricultural irrigation seasons, all incoming mine water is utilized for underground and domestic water, with the surplus being discharged externally. The cost is reduced to 0.49 yuan/ton. This approach offers substantial social and economic benefits, making it a viable and sustainable solution for mine water management.

The determination of reasonable coal pillar size in isolated island working face with large mining height is one of the key factors affecting coal recovery rate and safe mining. Taking 15115 isolated island working face with large mining height in Huangyanhui Mine as the research object, a coal pillar superposition-loaded mechanical model was constructed for the coupling effect of thick hard rock deflection-coal mass collaborative compression and hard rock cantilever additional stress, and the reasonable width was determined. The main conclusions are as follows: The loading at the roadsides is mainly determined by the effect of thick-hard rock stratum deflection and compression deformation of coal by its own weight, while the loading at the goaf side comes from the additional stress of the lateral cantilevering rock stratum. The load and ultimate bearing capacity of the coal pillar show a reverse trend in the width, and the minimum width is 9.4 m. The sensitive point of the equivalent fracture angle on reducing the load strength of the coal pillar is determined to be 82°. In the simulation, the proportion of plastic failure range and the degree of coal mass expansion in the increasing of the coal pillar width decrease. The stress concentration in the middle of coal pillar tends to stabilize, and the overall bearing performance is enhanced. Considering the above, the column width is determined to be 10 m. Engineering practice has proved that, after fracturing on both sides of the roadway, the rock fracture penetration weakens the integrity of the thick and hard rock strata. 10.0 m coal pillar retains the 2.0 m elastic zone in the middle, and the convergence of the roadsides and the roof-floor is controlled within 520 mm, which effectively achieves the safe protection of the island face roadway.

In this paper, the 431301 working face of Liangshuijing Coal Mine in Yulin, Shaanxi Province is taken as the engineering background. Based on the failure mode of roof surrounding rock in the process of working face mining, the characteristics of roof movement are divided into four stages. The mechanical model of space-time evolution of roadside support body in gob-side entry retaining at different stages is constructed respectively. The expression of lateral load applied by roof movement to roadside support body in different stages is calculated, and the coupling relationship between roof influencing factors and lateral load of support body is determined. The results show that the lateral load degree of the roadside support body is inversely proportional to the thickness of the immediate roof and proportional to the bending rotation angle of the rock beam. At the same time, the load is mainly affected by the length of the ' cantilever beam ' of the basic roof. Aiming at the roof movement characteristics of gob-side entry retaining and the lateral loading mechanism of roadside support body, the load reduction control scheme of roadside support body of gob-side entry retaining is proposed.

As a common support method for working face and advanced roadway, the hydraulic support often bears the impact load from the roof during the working process, and its own stability is threatened. Under the premise of ensuring the safety of hydraulic support, taking the self-moving unit support ZQ2000 / 22 / 48 A of advanced roadway as the research object, the dynamic response characteristics of unit support under gradient impact load are simulated by using SOLID WORKS model and dynamic software ADAMS, and the displacement and stress variation law of top beam and column are obtained. The maximum stress of single column is 1850 kN, the maximum subsidence is 100 mm, the maximum relative displacement of top beam is 5.84 mm, and with the impact load 200 kN in turn. With the increase of 600 kN and 1000 kN gradients, the parameters such as the subsidence, stress and offset of the column and the top beam show nonlinear changes, and the increment and change rate gradually increase, which provides a theoretical basis for the strength selection and impact test analysis of the hydraulic support.

To clarify the characteristics of fracture initiation in horizontal well in coal mine, a theoretical calculation model of fracture initiation in horizontal well in coal mine is established based on the regression equation of in-situ stress, the stress distribution of borehole wall and the maximum tensile stress criterion, and the influence of the depth and orientation of borehole on fracture initiation parameters is studied. The 3D discrete lattice numerical method is used to simulate the evolution of fracture initiation in horizontal well fracturing. The results show that the fracture initiation pressure of horizontal hole is influenced by the buried depth of formation and the azimuth of borehole. The fracture pressure is positively correlated with the buried depth. The buried depth increases from 150m to 1100m, and the peak fracture pressure increases by 46.47MPa. When the buried depth is less than 1100m, the fracture initiation pressure increases first and then decreases with the increase of the drilling azimuth. The borehole azimuth corresponding to the abrupt point of fracture initiation parameter decreases monotonically with the increase of burial depth. The crack initiation pressure reached its peak near the mutation point, and the crack initiation positions all changed from 90° to 0°. The fracture direction Angle suddenly increases from about 0° to a certain positive value, and then presents a parabolic change characteristic, and the fracture direction Angle is less than 27.08° within 1100m buried depth. The fracture initiation of borehole fracturing is a multi-stage evolution process, such as micro-fracture initiation, hole wall fracture line development and macroscopic fracture elliptic self-similar expansion. The research conclusion can provide reference for the optimization design of borehole layout scheme in underground coal mine.

In order to study the difference between the initial gas emission curves of single property and composite coal seam drilling, Comsol Multiphysics was used to simulate the initial gas emission curve of drilling process, and the initial gas emission data of three groups of drilling were monitored by the coal seam simulation device and the continuous flow method. The variation law of gas emission with drilling depth in the drilling process of different coal seams was demonstrated. The research shows that the instantaneous velocity of gas in the fracture zone is 19 times that of the normal, and the gas in the borehole is concentrated in the front of the drill pipe, and the emission rate decreases rapidly after 2 s of exposure. However, there is an obvious monotonically increasing function relationship between the overall drilling distance and the initial gas emission curve of the borehole, and the growth rate gradually slows down with time, which is also verified in the subsequent experiments in Haizi and Weixu coal mines. The initial gas emission of borehole in composite coal seam ( hard coal contains soft coal ) was measured by HSBC coal sample. The change trend of initial gas emission in abnormal area of gas curve is similar to that of numerical simulation, and the peak value of abnormal area is 3.8 times higher than normal value, indicating that the parameter is sensitive to composite coal seam.

To explore the influence of different factors on the strength characteristics of cemented sandstone-like rock materials. Using sandstone aggregate, cement and quartz sand as raw materials, the rock-like cylindrical samples were prepared by different proportions. By means of YAW-150B automatic hydraulic testing machine test system, the compressive strength of rock-like materials under different influencing factors was measured and the damage and failure mechanism of the specimen was elucidated. The results show that water-cement ratio, sand-cement ratio and sandstone aggregate cement ratio all have certain effects on the strength of rock-like materials. The compressive strength of rock-like materials increases first and then decreases with the increase of water-cement ratio. When the water-cement ratio is 0.42, the strength of the material reaches the maximum and then slowly decreases. The ratio of sand waste slag to cement is negatively correlated with the strength of rock-like materials. When the ratio of sand to cement is about 0.9, the compressive strength of the material reaches a peak, and then decreases rapidly, and the final strength is usually lower than the initial strength. There are three failure modes: tensile failure, shear failure and friction failure, and tensile failure is the main failure mode, while shear failure and friction failure are the auxiliary failure mode.

Based on a reversed blade angle slots casing treatment with good stability expansion performance, three schemes of reversed blade angle slots-circumferential groove coupling casing treatment are obtained by adding a circumferential groove at different axial positions of the reversed blade angle slots, and are applied to the FBCDZ-No20 coal mine contra-rotating main fan. The influence of the reversed blade angle slots casing treatment and the three schemes of slots-groove coupling casing treatment on the stability expansion performance of the fan has been compared and analyzed numerically. The results show that the reversed blade angle slots casing treatment effectively improves the stability margin of the contra-rotating fan. The implementation of the three schemes of slots-groove coupling casing treatment further improves the sta-bility margin of the fan, but they also result in varying degrees of reduction in peak efficiency. Among them, when the circumferential groove is located at the front end of the reversed blade angle slots, the stability expansion effect is the best, but the efficiency loss is also the largest. As the circumferential groove moves towards the trailing end of the slots, the stability expansion capacity gradually weakens. After a slots-groove coupling casing treatment is implemented, the driving force of the blade tip leakage flow increases due to the considerable change of the pressure difference between the suction surface and pressure surface of the front stage blade. In addition, with the suction and injection effects of the airflow in the blade tip channel of the front stage, the low-speed air flow in the blade tip channel is blown away, reducing flow blockage, increasing the axial velocity of the blade tip leakage flow, improving the flow situation in the blade tip region, delaying the occurrence of stall, and thereby improving the stability margin of the fan. ?However, the flow losses generated by the airflow inside the slots-groove coupling casing treatment, as well as the flow losses caused by the mixing between the jet generated by the casing treatment and the airflow in the blade tip channel, all lead to a decrease in the peak efficiency of the fan.

The importance of mineral surface roughness in the flotation process has attracted significant attention, as it directly influences the interactions between minerals, collectors, and bubbles. Despite extensive research exploring the relationship between mineral surface roughness and flotation processes, several unresolved issues remain, such as accurate characterization methods for mineral surface roughness and the impact of roughness on flotation processes involving minerals with different hydrophobicity. Characteristics of mineral surface roughness affect liquid-solid and gas-solid interactions, thereby influencing mineral particle hydrophobicity and bubble mineralization processes. Starting from the definition, measurement methods, and preparation techniques of mineral surface roughness, this paper thoroughly analyzes the effects of roughness on surface wetting properties, flotation reagent adsorption, bubble-mineral surface contact area and adhesion force, induction time, and flotation performance. The aim is to explore the influence of mineral surface roughness on the flotation process, elucidate the mechanisms by which different roughness affects liquid-solid and bubble-mineral interactions, and provide theoretical support for improving mineral flotation efficiency.

To compare and analyze the impact of fly ash properties on the differences in carbonation capacity, coal-fired power plant fly ash and circulating fluidized bed fly ash were studied as research subjects. Experiments on carbon sequestration and alkalinity reduction in fly ash slurry under different temperature and pressure conditions were conducted, and the pH changes in the slurry during the mineralization of CO2 by fly ash were measured. Analytical methods such as X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), ion chromatography, and simultaneous thermal analysis were used to study the differences in physical and chemical properties before and after the reaction, as well as the carbon fixation capacity. The research results indicate: (Ⅰ) Under the same conditions, CFB fly ash exhibits a higher alkalinity reduction efficiency compared to coal-fired power plant fly ash. Within a reaction time of 75 minutes, the pH of CFB fly ash slurry can be reduced to below 7, while coal-fired power plant fly ash requires approximately 175 minutes of reaction time to achieve the same pH reduction effect. (Ⅱ) The different forms of calcium content determine the differences in the leaching rate of calcium ions between the two types of fly ash. In CFB fly ash, calcium mainly exists in the form of CaO, and its loose and porous morphological characteristics are more conducive to the leaching of calcium ions. In contrast, in coal-fired power plant fly ash, calcium mainly exists in the form of tricalcium silicate, where the spherical shell in a glassy state limits the release of calcium ions. (Ⅲ) Under conditions of 0.2 MPa and 25 ℃, CFB fly ash can achieve carbon fixation of 39.6 gCO2/kg of fly ash, while pulverized coal furnace fly ash can achieve carbon fixation of 78.2 gCO2/kg of fly ash.

The pyrolysis of tar-rich coal has become a research hotspot of clean and efficient utilization of coal, but there are still shortcomings in the difference of molecular structure characteristics of different maceral components. In order to deeply understand their structural characteristics and strengthen their theoretical basis. This study focuses on separating vitrinite and inertinite through equal density-gradient-centrifugation using Dabaodang coal from the Shenfu coal field. The enriched macerals were then analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C-NMR), and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The 13C-NMR results indicated that the vitrinite-rich group had more aliphatic carbon structures, while the inertinite-rich group had more aromatic carbon structures. FTIR analysis revealed that the vitrinite-rich group had a higher concentration of oxygen-containing functional groups with shorter and highly branched aliphatic hydrocarbon structures, whereas the inertinite-rich group had benzene ring trisubstituents and pentasubstituents as the main aromatic hydrogens substitutions. The XRD results showed that the microcrystalline structures of both groups were similar with minimal differences in physical structures. The XPS results show that the oxygen-containing functional groups of vitrinite are mainly phenolic hydroxyl oxygen, ether oxygen and carboxyl oxygen, and the main forms of nitrogen are pyridine-type nitrogen and pyrrole type nitrogen, which provides a possibility for increasing the yield of pyrolysis tar. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the molecular structure characteristics of macerals in low-rank bituminous coal from the Shenfu coal field, offering valuable insights for the development and utilization of tar-rich coal and the advancement of conversion technology.

To address the challenges of low efficiency and high construction difficulty in traditional underground mine seal wall pouring, a new type underground dual - power explosion - proof concrete pump truck is developed. Due to the limited underground space of the whole vehicle can not meet the loading height of the roadway, the pump truck boom adopts rotary retractable type, which can withstand the weight strength of concrete and conveying pipe. The control mode adopts wireless remote control electric proportional load sensitive multi-way valve. The switch between the dual power is realized through the electrical control system, and the external power supply and chassis power supply are integrated to ensure the pumping and boom locking in the running state. The unique dimension and shape as well as the innovative boom design of the underground dual-power concrete pumping truck room greatly saves manpower and material resources, improves production efficiency and increases safety for sealing wall pouring operation in complicated environment of underground coal mine.

In order to solve the problem that the over-mass of the drilling arm affects the maneuverability and working stability, the drilling arm of JMZ type airborne anchor drill is studied, and the response surface method is used to optimize the structure. With the size parameter of the drill arm as the design variable, strength and stiffness as the constraint condition, and mass as the optimization objective, the response surface model was established by using the central combination design method, and the influence law of each variable on the maximum equivalent stress, maximum deformation and mass of the drill arm was analyzed. The response surface model was optimized and solved by using the multi-island genetic algorithm, and the optimal parameter combination was obtained. The results show that the cross section size of the inner cylinder of the fixed arm has the greatest influence on the maximum equivalent stress of the drilling arm, and the cross section size of the inner cylinder of the telescopic arm has the greatest influence on the maximum deformation and quality of the drilling arm. After optimization, the strength and stiffness of the drilling arm meet the requirements, the mass of the drilling arm is reduced by 7.83%, and the maximum equivalent stress is reduced by 14.58%.
